Hurricane Isaias Makes Landfall in Florida
Hurricane Isaias, a Category 2 storm, made landfall in Florida, near Destin, with warnings of life-threatening storm surge, destructive winds, and flooding. The hurricane prompted mandatory evacuations and is the first to strike the US mainland since 2024. The storm has led to the shutdown of nearly three-quarters of oil production in the US Gulf Coast region, impacting crude prices. Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi were bracing for the storm's impact, with tornado warnings issued.
